Music for Wind Symphony/Symphonic Band auditions was handed out in class last week. If your student does not have it, you can find it at the link here – AHS Band Audition Scales. Junior scales are correct. Please be sure to print out the correct instrument!
Auditions will begin the week of October 26. Students will play through the scale sheet and sight read for the audition. Auditions are blind.

UPDATED!!! Each section has an adult contact/theme for their section basket for trivia night. Please see the attached flyer for more information – M100 Basket Section volunteer theme.
Thanks in advance for the help!
